Madden NFL 16’s Cover Athlete Has Been Chosen

EA Sports has revealed who will grace the cover of this year's Madden NFL title during a special segment on this evening's SportsCenter.

New York Giants wideout Odell Beckham Jr. defeated New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. Odell Beckham Jr. will be the youngest player to be featured on the cover. He was awarded Offensive Rookie Of The Year and named to the Pro Bowl this past year. He made highlight catch after highlight catch this past season including the catch seen around the world against the Dallas Cowboys.

Madden NFL 16 will hit stores and your digital platform of choice on August 25th for both generations of Xbox & PlayStation consoles. EA has also announced a deluxe edition, which if you’re a Madden Ultimate Team player, should be very enticing to you as you’ll be getting 36 Pro Packs and a Playmaker Pack for just $10 more.
